1853 New Orleans "Flying toward the Crescent City at that moment was the kind of storm that causes shutters to clatter, and the shadows of gnarled oaks to bob and weave across expansive lawns. By midnight bolts of lightning would be dancing along darkened lanes, like skeletons frolicking at the undertaker's ball."Phantoms fly through the haunted hallways of White Raven Estate, where nearly all of the members of the wealthy Calais family have died following the Yellow Fever epidemic that swept New Orleans in 1853. The frenzied drumbeats of Voodoo ceremonies sound a staccato over the city as slaves are bought and sold on the St. Ann Hotel slave block.Father Vivenzio, an opportunistic New Orleans priest, with very close ties to New Orleans' Voodoo Community scurries back and forth from his parish to White Raven Estate where supernatural forces thwart his attempts at skimming the riches of the estate from the two surviving members of the Calais dynasty -- ingenue Victoria Calais and her French-Canadian grandmother.Frustrated by his inability to gain control over his supernatural nemesis, and hounded by crows, and wild dogs that roam the cemetery across the street from the Calais' Garden District estate, the priest calls on Widow Paris - New Orleans' Mambo Queen.Destiny meets Death in a carriage-race finish as Faith, Voodoo, and Supernatural Forces collide during Mardi Gras 1853.Actual Voodoo Spells revealed!Action and Mystery on every page!A Beautiful Mambo Queen!A Death-defying Carriage Race!Revenge - served New Orleans Hot!
